Ok ....My MBA class v.s. an 8 minute video ! And the winner is ...drum rolls....hands down this video . You are simply great Sir! Can't belive this is free. Next stop Equity Theory.

This is the best explanation concerning Herzberg's theory by far! Thank you so much, Professor Clayton!

You are better than two books and five teachers combined.

I just read Frederick Herzberg's obituary, and what he accomplished back as a soldier during World War II is an inspiring story.

I dont know why but I really like the way this guys talks and no its not the accent

I'm taking a safety course and part of it is this theory and Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs. By 'part', I mean three paragraphs each; the idea is happy workers are safe workers, basically. I am wondering if it sounds reasonable to equate Maslow's bottom two physical bricks to the hygiene factors, and the top three psychological ones to the motivation factors...

Well Explained

Nice musical homage to The Shadows' sound...

Productivity at work should not be related to the issues a person has outside of work, a person is hired and paid to work and perform at work , to abide by the company’s vision and mission and strive to make it profitable and prolific. A proper compensation /salary should be enough to motivate anyone, a personal life is out of bounds to the company and is in line with the do not bring home to work, work home phrase. equity / equality cannot be measured and should not be part of the business / company model/environment the way a person feels at work, is perceived that they are treated, etc. should under no means be a factor in an employee’s performance. Materials, are available to all end every employee and it is up to them to use these as fit to improve the company’s profitability and success Equality in any form is erased from the workplace as it is an understatement where it is implied that all those employed are mature individuals and who will work in unison to attain the company’s goals and objectives in any form by any means leaving out personal feelings, hopes and wishes concentrating on the company’s goals objective, mission vision, product, etc. Maslow’s and McClelland’s theories are personal and subjective when planning tasks. Goals and objectives are smart, but employee’s participation is limited to the company’s objective, of a final product. the expectancy theory should be : “you are expected to carry out your tasks in order to achieve these objectives and goals” which will also become the employees motivation for peak performance The company’s involvement in an employee’s personal life should be limited to what happens at work, anything else is considered a personal matter and a. No such thing as “apathy, empathy / sympathy” or lack of, we are all people and people go thru situations, emotions, conditions all the time. Concentrate on work at work and on you and your other out of work. Contrary to popular belief, the employees should be and feel sufficiently motivated with the salary agreed upon when hired. With the salary they receive to carry out their duties any other perception, consideration, guess supposition not stated in the contract is invalid. Days off, vacations, sick leave, etc. as per labour laws, etc. stipulated already. The customers expect results from the companies which in turn pay employees to go above and beyond to satisfy these expectations. We all want different things out of life, we all have needs and the only way to achieve this is with money, money comes with a job, work, a result of fulfilling the company’s goals and objectives. companies are set up to make money, not, not for profits. Other public and private services are set up to satisfy a variety of personal needs which cannot be satisfied at work because your workplace’s goal is different, and these may be attained with payment for such services. Companies understand employees, as such pay them a fair salary, do employees understand what their role is? For profit companies deal with tangible products not with answers to existential questions. What would you do, how would you feel if you had a business and the employee was always late, had an excuse, did not complete the tasks on time, you have to excuse yourself to your customers, you are losing clients, looking bad, etc.? It is the responsibility of each individual to put him or herself together before they go to work and perform at their best. We now have organizations catering to employees needs with lunch bars, pool tables, basically non-alcoholic pubs within their walls where the employees supposedly gather and create. In turn it is also believed that having a group of people going in circles with the same idea doesn’t bring anything new. If these individuals would go to the corner diner, coffee shop, hot dog stand, vegetarian restaurant down the road maybe, just maybe they would have a revelation and come to work with something completely different but functional. Having employees incarcerated is not a sign of motivation to creativity but monitoring and distrust, we prefer to see them walking around breaking their heads to come up with something instead od looking for them or calling them back to work when their lunch time is over. These expenses transferred to the consumers are unnecessary and the funds can be allocated otherwise, bonuses, etc. We are spending uncalled for amounts of investment capital in useless subjective gadgets, when in reality we are desperately expecting answers and useful products from mature minds. An organization/ Company’s function is not how to teach an employee how to balance his or her work-life but offer solutions thru products and services. Businesses are out there to comfort any and all wishes and desires, capitalism/ entrepreneurship takes care of this, why re-invent the wheel. We can spend years debating on the issue, but we are wasting time, it’s all about individual responsibility, companies don’t force people. The so-called entrepreneurs, those seeking challenges, who hit the ground running, inexhaustible minds etc. become weary when there is no balance, when the income is not spent properly, when time is mismanaged. Like in school when parents pay for everything and all kids have to do is study, pass a test and get a degree, but 99% of the time we take everything for granted and waste precious time in nonsense ( now we know and understand) are struggling the night before with tonnes of papers, homework, books to read before a test, evaluation, assessment, exam, etc. and we barely make it. But we later want the works when it comes to job hunting…really? The HR department has the function of matching an individual with certain skills to the openings in the organization, its not a witch doctor or do they have a crystal ball. People with issues must speak up and contact the dedicated professionals, the most important “professionals” are our mates, partners and immediate family where pressure is also coming from. Your partner wants you to spend more time with you and when money lacks doesn’t like you either because you can’t support their lifestyle……. Ironic but true. And ourselves, be honest and open, assess and evaluate the situation and its conditions: how did I get here? Make a plan, stick to it and solve it, only we as individuals know what is going on and we do have the tools to get over it, just need to be sincere and realistic. Yes, we invented Legos and Crayola but that is not how we will build anyone’s future or paint the sky when reality hits the fan after all consumer goods have destroyed the planet. We have gone from a jar on instant coffee a spoon and a cup of milk or water to a mini vending machine at home and no one seems to care about the monstrous disparity of this act, but.. if we can pay for it who cares right? We can’t deal with waste, the “first world countries ship it to the rest of the world but back home it’s all about Green, ridiculous! There is no real free trade, no respect for producers anywhere, just subsidies paid for with newly minted money most likely with materials brought from elsewhere if you know what I mean. We can go to all the motivational speeches we want but that wouldn’t solve anything, it’s like going to a movie, we get the high for a few instants and when we are going back home the bills, work, family are back. We as individuals are the only ones who can plan or own lives and we will not blame it on anyone else. Who has the answer, who is right? No one ..every one, very personal there is no one size fits all solution

cool

I love you

This seems to also apply within relationships. Where hygiene factors (housework) often can go without the appreciation or generating the feeling of love they deserve. I had always referred to it in my mind about "having expectations" which when filled doesn't add to the equation of love, therefor we needed to consciously be grateful to our partner for those things. But you can also see how love can suffer within a relationship of only the "hygiene" factors are taken care of without adding the extra sauce of motivation/love through other acts, etc.
